They rotate a lot on the DL, and Van Ness actually played the most snaps. They let the two redshirt seniors start, though. John Waggoner is a deep UDFA or rookie camp tryout candidate this weekend, while Joe Evans is going back for a sixth year this fall.How does Van Ness compare to Chandler Jones when he was coming out? Why didn’t he start at all for Iowa?
I think he’s maybe a little rawer than Jones. He was mainly an interior pass rusher in 2021, which is good experience to have if he ends up in NE but also highlights how little college experience he has as an edge rusher.
He’s from the Chicago area and is dating a Bears player’s sister, so I imagine he’s hoping to go pick 9 and for the Patriots to never have a shot at him.
